perance reading room and brain retort for
ten years, and now ructiOn between two or
our best known citizens, over the relative
merits of natural pair and doctored flush,
has called down the vengeance OF the author
tiles and shut up what was a credit to the
place and a quiet resort, where young men
could come night after night and kind of
complicate themselves at There are two or

a clothesline to himself, with the outer end
fastened to the door knob, before it is safe to

wonders who Gladstone got to write it for
him.
